Lisa Vanderpump recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star threw major shade at her co-stars, in particular, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Girardi, and Kyle Richards.
When asked about Kemsley becoming a "restauranteur," the Vanderpump Rules star did not hold back and threw shade at her former friend and co-star. "I don’t think it's really a restaurateur when you decorate the dining room somewhere in a back space. I think that's vastly different than running restaurants," she said, according to Us Weekly. "I hope it's more successful than her bikini business."
During the episode, LVP was asked to share her thoughts on Erika Girardi and Tom Girardi's ongoing divorce and legal issues.
"It’s been absolutely fascinating, this whole thing, the way it’s played out. I actually just feel so bad for the victims. This whole situation, as they’ve just kind of been watching this unfold," she responded to the question. "I don’t know, I don’t really understand all that $40,000 per month glam squad, and when you see these poor people, it’s very devastating."
Then, Cohen asked the restaurateur whether she'd start up a conversation with Richards if they were stuck in an elevator together. "I’d look for the escape panel first. Then maybe ask if I could stand on her shoulders," she replied with a laugh. "What is there to say? The only thing to be said is ... it's got to start with an apology. If someone calls you a liar, it’s not OK with me.”
Vanderpump then revealed her thoughts on Richards' sister Kathy Hilton joining the Bravo hit reality series and what would it take for her to return to the series.
"People ask me all the time if I’m going back. It’s been such a long time and I’ve just got a lot going on. I've been writing a book," she said, according to Us Weekly. "I do love Kathy. If you could just get rid of the other five, then I think yeah, there’s a possibility."
Vanderpump was an original cast member on the show and remained part of the cast for nine years, announcing her exit in 2019 following the “PuppyGate” scandal with Dorit Kemsley. In 2018, the “PuppyGate” scandal featured Kyle Richards claiming Vanderpump leaked a story to the press about a dog that Kemsley got from Vanderpump Dogs. Ultimately, the fight resulted in the restauranter’s husband, Ken Todd, kicking Richards out of their house.
Vanderpump refused to film with the rest of the women and announced her exit from the series ahead of the RHOBH season 9 reunion, which she did not attend.
